Computer Engineering Labs

FPGA and Digital Electronics Lab (CS-301)

The facilities in this laboratory support undergraduate and graduate computer engineering courses. The classroom has desks with retractable stands for computer monitors, and the latest in digital classroom technologies such as interactive educational software, classroom management software, document camera, and USB tablets.

VLSI Lab (CS-404)

The lab was recently upgraded with state-of-the-art workstations and commercial EDA tools with a generous grant from the College of Engineering and Computer Science. The facility in this lab not only supports undergraduate and graduate Very Large Sale Integration (VLSI) courses, but is also a training and research facility in advanced VLSI design. Using this facility, microchips can be potentially designed with submicron feature sizes and with clocks in the Gigahertz frequency range. This new facility is located in Room 404 of the Computer Science Building.

The lab is equipped with twenty state-of-the-art workstations (Sun Ultra 40 M2) with the following features:

Microcontroller Lab (CS-406)

The facilities in this laboratory supports undergraduate and graduate courses in use of advanced microcontrollers targeted for embedded applications. The lab has a wide range of hardware and software development tools available for the students. The lab is equipped with 20 stations with Pentium 4/Pentium D processors, 1 projector, 2 printers, 25 68HC12 microcontroller development boards (DRAGON12TM HCS12), 8 HP and Tektronix logic analyzers and digital logic test boxes.
